DrPop, to lemmyshitpost in Georgia

I work for the federal government and had a coworker get incredulous I over the phone because she didn’t believe Georgia was a country. She eventually quit before she was fired but people get real ignorant when it comes to things outside of their immediate sphere.

I still remember when Russia invades Georgia was a headline and how confused Americans where.

Tbh, when I saw the image I immediately thought of Mikael Åkerfeldt (from Opeth, among others)

edit: mistyped his name, a bit.

Winnem,

A great bard as well.

PiHole doesn’t work with VPNs, does it?

Tenthrow,
@Tenthrow@lemmy.world avatar

No because VPNs route your traffic through an encrypted tunnel. But PiHole can filter traffic on any device on your network regardless of whether or not you can install a plugin.

Landmammals,

Yes, its a DNS server. You can set up your device to use whatever DNS server you choose, including pihole.

I’ve got my VPN connected with pihole as the default DNS server so it works on my phone when I’m not at home.

9point6,

Yep it does, most VPN software lets you configure the DNS server to be your pihole.

If you care about the privacy of your DNS requests, tunnel the pihole through a VPN too

Pi-hole won’t block Youtube ads. uBlock Origin does.

JohnDClay,

Is there any router side solutions for YouTube adds? I want to block for my family, but they don’t see the point.

CosmicTurtle,

You have to set up a proxy.

Even for those who are technical enough to set up a pihole, it’s annoying to set up a proxy and some apps simply won’t work with it.

I would love to learn how to block YouTube ads with a proxy. Do you have a link to instructions?

CosmicTurtle,

Not sure if these instructions work. First result from Google.

ivn,

It does not. Domain based blocking does not work with youtube.

Your link event says it:

Some ads may […] be served through the same domain as the website, making them harder to block without blocking the website itself.

There is no point in using a proxy for this, because of https it won’t be able to block more than with DNS blocking. Maybe a tiny bit more if you set up mitm but that’s really not worth it.

Fosheze, (edited )

Nope. Youtube ads are served from the same domains as the videos so there is nothing you can to to block them via DNS. Your best bet is just installing Ublock for them. Now a days an ad blocker is a security necessity anyways.

mrmacduggan,

Installing uBlock is so quick, all you need is 30 seconds of their consent to lean over their shoulder and install it. The whole process can be faster than the actual ad break, in some cases.

Steve,

Ublock on roku when?

Fosheze,

When you stop using roku and just plug in a cheap used laptop or something instead

Steve,

Thats about to happen, I’m just going to miss the tv remote user interface

Fosheze,

I actually really like the unified remote app. It lets you use your phone as a remote for any computer on the same network. I think the premium version just lets you link more computers otherwise the free version is just as good.

Cold_Brew_Enema,

I’ll take “moronic takes” for $500, Alex

chuckleslord,

I’ll take “doesn’t know how social discourse works” for $100

Cold_Brew_Enema,

Sorry I don’t blanket hate an entire profession because of the terrible few. I apologize for being able to criticize an institution and demand recourse, without wishing death and pain on all that are apart of it. This place and reddit have no idea the entire point of ACAB. It’s just a circlejerk at this point.

Estiar,

Yes, Cyanide and Happiness, a famously level headed and accurate comic discussing specific problems with clarity

Cold_Brew_Enema,

If you paid any attention you’d see I was replying to a comment, not the comic. Maybe look closer next time?

PrinceWith999Enemies, to thefarside in 26 January 2024

Yes. This is actually how humans work. We are not only social animals, but eusocial - similar to bees and ants. We are unique among primates in that regard, and one of only a few species of mammals that gets that designation (the other two being mole rats).

Not only were they a superpredator that preyed on apex predators, not only were they present in great numbers, but terrifyingly-enough, humans also worked together.

threelonmusketeers, to bloomcounty in 26 January 1981

American “football”:

  • The “ball” is not a sphere, or even a close approximation of one.
  • Throwing and catching with hands is a major part of the game.

Should really be called “hand-egg” or something instead. 'Tis a silly game anyways.

Ashyr, to thefarside in 26 January 2024

I love how weirdly morbid the Far Side was. It’s kind of shocking in retrospect.

My friend put a string of dim Christmas lights behind the seats for her kids. It’s pretty cute and the light is mostly blocked by the seats.

atzanteol, to thefarside in 26 January 2024

Oof,too soon Gary…

for people on a PC.

threelonmusketeers,

Thanks! Someone should make a bot to do this. Would be useful…

sugar_in_your_tea,

I first heard it on Seinfeld. It’s amazing that it was used so much in pop-culture.

Murdoc,

I just knew of the band from Buffy.

itsgroundhogdayagain,

There’s a movie with Sam Neil about this story. We had to watch it in high school, before the Seinfeld episode came out, and we all just about died with the mom yelling about the dingo eating her baby. it wasn’t supposed to be funny but it absolutely was.

LemmyKnowsBest,

every time I think of this story I picture Elaine saying it. “A dingo ate my baby!!”

AllonzeeLV, (edited ) to garfield in 26 January 1979

And then Survivor happened, cheap to produce “Reality” show garbage became the norm, and 1979 tv felt like Shakespeare by comparison.

MBM, to lemmyshitpost in Georgia

Georgia is a state. A sovereign state

Mango,

Yeah, all the other “countries” use the term “state” when referring to them in English. The US is the only place that has a ‘federal’ level ‘above’ states. If you’re on Lemmy, you should have some idea of what federation means. This should all put in perspective what the original idea of the United States was and how much control each level was intended to have.

This also makes it all the more hilarious and stupid how Texans wanna call themselves a country. They don’t even know the words they’re using.

ThoranTW,

Yeah, something tells me the US ain’t the only place that has a federal level above states.

Mango,

Yeah that figures. I don’t think they use the word country though.
